I had unprotected sex last month, very brief and man didn't finish but I took morning after pill as a precaution and have since had a period so not concerned about pregnancy. But my health anxiety is playing up big time about STI. I've spoken with him and he's showed me the text he had from his most recent test showing he's clear and he's not been with anyone since, I've no reason to think I've got one and I've never had an STI, but despite this I'm going out of my mind with worry particularly as I breastfeed. I've been tested but the wait is three weeks and it's excruciating, I can't function, I keep feeling suicidal and full of regret and imagining getting a text message saying I've got something.

Can anyone talk me down please, I can't cope.

Thank you.

Hello OP, we are really sorry to hear you are feeling this way.

We hope you don't mind, but when these threads are flagged up to us we usually add a link to our Mental Health resources.

You can also go to the Samaritans website, or email them on [email protected]. Support from other Mumsnetters is great and we really hope you will be able to take some comfort from your fellow posters, but as other MNers will tell you, it's really a good idea to seek RL help and support as well.

We also like to remind everyone that, although we're awed daily by the astonishing support our members give each other through life's trickier twists and turns, we'd always caution anyone never to give more of themselves to another poster, emotionally or financially, than they can afford to spare.
